I have a 94 Honda accord lx and my engine has like 200000 miles on it and i wanna do a swap i've done some research and i've seen that the best swap for N/A is the h22 i was wondering what parts from my accord will work on on that engine. Can i just buy a H22 long block and ecu( say from hmotorsonline.com) and just use the rest of the parts off my accord if not what extra parts would i need cause all i have is about 2500 and i'm a lil scared to do the swap myself since i have never done one before or much engine work period let me know thanx

its better off saving a little extra and purchasing a full swap, with 200k dont forget your tranny went thru alot already also... so have many other parts in your car im assuming, mounts and all that good stuff...with 2500 another like $1-2g's youll be good for the engine + install..

 

Has anyone done this swap themselves is it that difficult from what i read its not that hard the hardest part is like the power steering. And i've also heard its better to keep the accord tranny b/c the gears are longer is this true? I really wanna do the swap myself but i just don't wanna start it mess up and then have to pay to get it fixed. Does anyone have a good how to guide and a website with cheaper prices than hmotorsonline.

i wouldnt keep the accord tranny.....besides the fact that its old, the car will be noticably faster w/ the H22 tranny.....cause the H22 has fixed engagment points, and when shifting at redline, the H22 tranny will keep u in vtec, while the f22 tranny may not.......for instalation guide, refer to the GUIDE TO BASIC ACCORD thread at the top of the forum

 

thanx everyone but have any of u done this swap is this swap easy or should i just go h23a1. I read that i can use the f22b1 harness and i don't really have to do any wiring is this true? i think i might be able to do the swap myself from what i've read nothing seems to difficult i've worked on my old accord and old prelude with minor things such as brakes, radiator, crap like that I just don't know if i should try this swap myself maybe i need to read some horror stories or something. I will take some pics if i do it and let u guys know how it turns out unless i blow myself up lol

 

What's the difference between H22 & H23?? newer model??

 

.1 L difference in displacment.....and H22 is vtec

 

the h23 swap is just the same as the h22 swap except that you dont have to wire in vtec wires .

 

So the h23a swap is easier to do but just doesn't seem worth it because the h22 has like 30 more hp . Has anyone done this? Are u satisfied with the power increase? Can someone who has done this swap tell me if it was difficult or if i should watch out for anything in patricular. And if anyone know a website with better prices than hmotorsonline.com plz let me know and a how to guide if possible thanx.

 

Oh one more thing i heard u can use the f22b1 with the h22a harness and then i won't have to do any extra wiring since the f22b1 is already wired for the vtec. is this true?

 

2 extra wires for the b1
